Hidden in a dark forest of wood cabinets and brown granite tile counters, the best parts of this mid-century style kitchen were lost. The family’s most loved feature of the existing space was the interior redwood siding than ran through the home so we celebrated its beauty by making it stand out. Removing an enclosed pantry and peninsula opened up the space and allowed us to create a large central island “hub” which functions equally well as a gathering space for parties or a quiet spot for homework. New recessed lights & natural sunshine from the large windows bounces off the high-gloss white cabinetry and white counters, reflecting light throughout the space.
